Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the view of topaz, a piece of jade rough stone is worthless, only after the craftsman's carving, in order to give it vitality, just like the ancient saying "such as cutting, such as grinding", carving jade is not an easy task, it takes a long time and painstaking efforts, carving is also an art, in fact, for this piece of heirloom, he also has some itchy hands, when he was young, he wanted to carve jade, but was stopped by his father, saying that his ability is not enough, and after his father died, this is the only thought, and he is not so young and vigorous, Knowing that he still has a lot of shortcomings, he has stayed until now.
Now that I'm 6o years old, I want to try it while my eyes are still presbyopia.
Only skilled craftsmen can turn decay into magic, such as He's Bi, otherwise no matter how good the material is, it is scum, he is also a little itchy, life can not leave regrets, there was no chance before, no one knew the goods, and no one could let him take out this piece of jade, and now the opportunity has finally come.
In addition, Old Man Huang has a very good impression of An Yuxi, is polite to people, his face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like a star, his nose is like a hanging gall, his lips are like Zhu Dan, his appearance is dignified, he is a talent, and more importantly, he is also a Chinese.
"Don't cry, it's not good if your boss sees it." Old Man Huang put the jade box aside and helped his grandson up.
Only Mr. Huang knows Shao Ning's life experience, Shao Ning's father died early and was raised by his mother, and the two mothers and sons have suffered a lot, the children of poor families have been in charge of the house early, and Shao Ning, who is sensible early, studies very hard, because only reading can change fate in China.
From elementary school to high school, he is almost the first in the whole school, except for doing things a little frizzy, all the qiē is good, it seems that there will always be a time when the bitterness will come. But God sometimes makes people desperate, when he was in high school, Shao Ning's mother fell ill, knowing that his time was short, so he entrusted him to his distant cousin in South Korea, Lin Zhengen.
After his mother's death, this was his only relative on earth.
When he was 16 years old, Shao Ning came to South Korea with his uncle, Incheon, South Korea.
Lin Zhengen is Chinese, but his wife and children are Korean, the family is middle-class, often eats meat, and spent a lot of money for Shao Ning to immigrate.
Shao Ning has good grades, and there is absolutely no problem in being admitted to college, but in the future, the family will have more money to study in college, Lin Zhengen didn't say anything, he is a typical Chinese man, honest and diligent, he can't express his feelings, he can only do, he can't speak. But my aunt is not so good at talking, it costs a lot of money to study in South Korea, many people do not study because they have no money to go to university, even if they are admitted, and some people have to drop out of school because of the loan to go to college, and there is no money to repay, which is also a unique social phenomenon in South Korea - they can't afford to go to university, which may also be the reason why Korean college students are in demand.
According to the Lin family's family background, it is more than enough for their children to go to college, but with one more person, there is pressure, because in general universities, it costs at least 1o million yuan to study for a year, including tuition and miscellaneous fees, and this is not Korean won, it is RMB, where can ordinary people afford it?
Although he couldn't understand what his aunt and uncle were arguing about, the sensitive Shao Ning still realized that it had something to do with him, and his aunt didn't like him very much. For him now, there is nothing more painful in the world than to send people under the fence, to be careful in everything he does, to be fearful, and to recall his mother in a midnight dream, he has already burst into tears.
My uncle has a job and is very busy, so I don't have time to take care of him, and my aunt is not very good to him.
Missing his mother, in a foreign country, Shao Ning is like a wanderer who has no landing, and he doesn't want to live in his uncle's house, because he doesn't have his own room, although he has a lovely cousin, but Shao Ning, who is new to the country, is somewhat sensitive, and the two of them can't communicate.
Until he met Old Man Huang, Shao Ning felt that he was very much like his grandfather, and after his father died, his grandfather was his father.
Old Man Huang also lives alone, without a wife or son.
Since then, Shao Ning has lived in Old Man Huang's house, and the two of them are accompanied by grandchildren, although they can't eat meat often, but they are happy.
After living together for so long, the two of them have long been real grandfathers and grandsons, and there are no secrets between each other, Old Man Huang often takes out his jade to Shao Ning, at that time Shao Ning was young and ignorant, just regarded this as a legend, he thought at the time, if grandpa really has such a good thing, why not sell it for money to enjoy happiness, and still live here.
"When I die, it'll be yours, take it and sell it, buy a house, and marry a wife." Whenever he watched his grandfather rub this piece of jade and say this, Shao Ning couldn't help but feel sad.
Maybe grandpa has long regarded this piece of jade as his wife, wife and son, it is his sustenance, sometimes Shao Ning will suddenly think so, because Old Man Huang has no relatives.
Now, Shao Ning suddenly regretted it, regretting why he brought An Yuxi here, and sold his wife and son for the sake of his grandson?
After a long time, after persuading Shao Ning, Old Man Huang came out of the room, holding a faded wooden box in both hands.
"Guest, this is my jade, and my name is this jade." Old man Huang said with a straight face, and his somewhat old face suddenly revealed a solemn appearance, just like a devout believer, when An Yuxi was mixed in the church, those really virtuous priests had such a temperament, which made An Yuxi stern up, and when he heard the two talking outside the door, he didn't think about whether Shao Ning wanted to lie to him.
But after seeing this very old box, An Yuxi had no doubts, he knew that this box was at least a few decades old, antique, it looked like ordinary wood, An Yuxi seemed to have seen this kind of wood in his master's study.
I saw Old Man Huang open the box and reveal his true face.
The inside of the box and the outside of the box are completely different, inside the box is a piece of snow-white satin, dazzling white, with a bright yellow jade on it, the size of a palm, which seems to have a light floating in the light, unlike diamonds, this is a restrained light, like mutton fat, not as transparent as diamonds, there are some cloud-like things inside, a ball is like cotton wool, this is a piece of jade!
After seeing this piece of jade, An Yuxi really knew what it meant to be warm and moist like jade, although he didn't know jade, but the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he immediately decided that it was this piece of jade.
Jade, since ancient times is a symbol of nobility and purity, fortunate to find a long-cherished jade, that is a kind of fate, but also a blessing. As the saying goes, gold has a price, jade is priceless, jade is a gemstone, and it is naturally precious, but jade is by no means something that can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be appreciated. On the contrary, the closer you get to it, the more round and shiny it becomes, and that's where the spirituality of jade comes in.
"This is Topaz!" Seeing An Yuxi playing with this jade with love, the old man introduced that only he knew the true value of this topaz.
"That's it, I don't know how many hairpins Master Huang can carve out of this piece of jade?" Without waiting for the old man to continue, An Yuxi waved his hand and agreed.
"... I thought I had met Zhiyu, but Old Man Huang wanted to introduce him, but I didn't expect this person to be so anxious.
"If it weren't for such a complex carving for the guests, 7 could be carved, but if it was such a complex carving, only 3 could be carved." Old Man Huang groaned for a while.
"So...," An Yuxi thought for a while, a good jade can be found later, but the gift must be good, "Can there be a little change, on my basis, well, I want three different hairpins, okay?" I'm going to give it away. ”
"Absolutely!" Old Man Huang replied affirmatively, of course he has absolute confidence in his craft.
"Such a good jade must be very valuable, can you swipe the card?" An Yuxi made a final decision, and then asked an embarrassing question.
"What?" The old man and Shao Ning both looked at An Yuxi with a surprised expression, didn't they even ask the price?
"Good things can't be measured by money, I hope they can be ready within 15 days, is that okay?" An Yuxi is colorful.
"Absolutely." sighed at An Yuxi's generosity, the grandfather and grandson also felt that An Yuxi couldn't see through, especially Shao Ning, who understood the situation, he knew that An Yuxi was just a newcomer, he must be a rich second generation, Shao Ning guessed it at once. For money, An Yuxi has never been worried.
"Guest, can I make a few small items out of leftovers?" After signing the contract, Old Man Huang suddenly asked, although this is not easy to say, but he still proposed it, after signing the contract, this piece of jade belongs to An Yuxi, and even the leftovers belong to An Yuxi, for this, it is the most important thing for craftsmen, that is, reputation, for craftsmen, reputation is life, but he wants to leave a little thought for Shao Ning.
"Absolutely." An Yuxi agreed, just now he heard a few words inside outside, but he was embarrassed to listen, it seemed that the situation was still very complicated.
"Can you make more pendants? I'm embarrassed to say that, but I really like this piece of jade, and I can add money. "An Yuxi thinks that such a large piece of jade, there should be a lot of scraps, and it is not bad to make a few more pendants.
"Absolutely! No need to add money. Old Man Huang said excitedly, I didn't expect this guest to be so easy to speak, at least he could leave a little thought for his grandson after he died.
"Thank you, boss." On the way back, neither of them spoke, Shao Ning said suddenly.
"What? Thank me for what? An Yuxi was thinking about whether to send a hosta to everyone in the future, but he didn't understand Shao Ning's nonsensical words.
"Nothing." Shao Ning's heart suddenly became weak and he stopped talking.
"I should say I'm sorry." An Yuxi suddenly thought of something, "I should stay a little longer, so that you and your grandfather can stay a little longer." ”
"... I didn't expect An Yuxi to say this, Shao Ning was a little stunned.
"Don't worry, you will be given a holiday every month in the future, our benefits are very high!" An Yuxi explained again.
"Thank you boss!" Shao Ning could only say this.
“you_are_e1come。” An Yuxi replied while surfing the Internet that he wanted to find out what topaz was.
Topaz is a fluorine-containing aluminosilicate mineral, which is formed by the vapor discharged from the igneous rock in the crystallization process, topaz is generally columnar or irregular granular or block-like, with a variety of colors, generally yellow, blue, green, red, brown and other light colors, with glass luster, and some colorless and transparent.
The topaz color should be very bright yellow, with a hint of orange, the whole is golden, yellow-brown Sydney topaz, pink, etc. The red high-quality topaz is very precious. Under the light of the moon, the topaz glowed yellow.
If you really make a hosta, it will be beautiful! Huh! You have to be pretty!
Is there still a pink one? Girls must love this! It's a pity, this kind of pink must be available but not sought, An Yuxi sighed, but the moonlight is also deceitful.
Be content, now that the fifteen-year-old gift has finally been found, ah, I'm really tired, An Yuxi won't care about the price or something, and An Yuxi is not afraid of being deceived at all, because he has such capital.
ps:I'm thinking about the plot in the future.・・That's right.,Thank you for the fall の果子,Yogo and the three classmates of Azure Broad for the reward.
